The technological development pertaining to these instruments are expected to drive the demand further. The catheters become infected after a couple of weeks and can cause infection of the tract. The development of new antimicrobial catheters with introduced antimicrobial molecules within the tube has advantage over the traditional ones.

Furthermore, the reimbursement policies for these products can also be attributed to the growing demand. The Medicaid program reimburses a patient with 120 intermittent catheters per month and the Medicare Program reimburses around 200 catheters per month.

In 2015, urinary incontinence was the largest application segment due to the rising prevalence of the disease with aging population.
